Mont Saint-Hilaire

The hill is a famous locale amongst Canadian mineral collectors, with Mindat listing over 400 minerals, including over 70 for which it is the type locality!

It produces fine specimens of a range of minerals – of particular interest to me are the excellent quality blue Sodalite specimens and the Hackmanite from this site.
